$12.99, ages 8 and up, 2 to 4 players, scheduled to be available in July 2007

Scrabble Express, designed to be played in about 20 minutes, promises to deliver fun for lovers of word games. A Hasbro press release describes the game like this: "Roll the dice and use letters to build a word. Opponents use remaining dice to build off of previous word played. The first to score 200 points wins."

It appears that the game comes with 12 dice, a game board and a sand timer. As it was described to me, one player rolls some of the dice and uses them to form a word. The second player then rolls dice and builds a word off the first one played. The next player then removes the first word and rolls to form a new word that links into the second one, and so on.
